Example
Example (Spoiler)
Send real images straight into Minecraft chat.
PhotoChat renders pictures inline in the chat window — right under a <player> [Photo]
line. Previews scroll and fade together with normal messages, open in a full viewer with
zoom and pan, and can be sent as spoilers so sensitive images stay censored until the
viewer chooses to reveal them.
Players without the client mod can still join — they simply get a short text notification instead of the picture.

Server — PhotoChat must be installed for photos to be relayed.
Client — optional, but required to see image previews. Players without it only receive a text fallback message.
Dependencies
PhotoChat modifies the chat UI to render previews. Most mods work fine, but behavior with chat-UI mods may vary.
If you use mods that merge, compact, replace, or heavily redesign chat messages, image spacing or previews may behave differently.
